Only if you use UTC rather than GMT, and are computer clocks that accurate anyway? It will correct it self on the next monthly call to the time server, and the difference will probably be more than a second anyway.
Because it was one of the worst years ever on the world stock markets.
Even the second best performing stock market in the world lost money during the year. The only stock market that is up on the year is Zimbabwe, and that's only on local currency terms.
For payroll transfers submitted by fax, most British banks use a one time pad to verify the fax is legit.
You get a sheet of 12 passwords, in the form of labels that you peel off and stick on the transfer form. When you have used up the sheet, you get a new one with a different set of 12 passwords on it.
You log into a fake website. The phisher uses the same details to log into the real website.
You ask to transfer some money. The phisher asks to transfer money to a different place. The phisher passes on the challenge response details it gets to you, you complete it and give it to the phisher. The phisher can then transfer the money to his "money transfer agent" for onward payment to himself.
In Britain, Royal Bank of Scotland, Barclays and Nationwide have a challenge response system where you have to put your ATM card in a handheld reader, enter your pin and a number supplied by the website, and type the number from the reader into the webpage to continue. Bank of Scotland send a number by SMS to your cellphone which you have to type into the webpage to continue. Lloyds and Abbey don't do anything, and for some reason, they get the vast majority of the phishing attacks in this country.
I've been using CFLs for about 12 years now. I've had to replace them once in that time. Before that, I was replacing incandescents about every 3 months.
Also, in the time you spend using one Chinese CFL, you would use about 12 Mexican incandescents, so shipping costs are 1137.6g for the incandescents compared to 98.94g for the cfls.
You also need to consider that your incandescent bulb still needs to be shipped to you somehow, and it may even come from a Chinese factory close to the CFL factory.
No, because while they are swiping it, they can also take a clone copy of the card to sell to criminals. At least that's what happens in Britain, and for that reason we are advised not to let our cards be taken out of sight.
Don't you have chip & pin yet? France has had it for about 15 years now, and Britain has had it for a few years.
They went from a peasant economy similar to what you see in large parts of Africa today to something vaguely resembling a civilised country. It took Britain about 150 years to achieve something a little bit better using free market techniques.

It also added things like plug & play - no more typing the IRQ numbers of your peripherals and expansion cards before they work.

Disposing of a CFL releases far less mercury than burning additional coal to power an incandescent bulb does.

The only new feature in Vista that is any use is UAC, a badly implemented copy of sudo which other operating systems have had for years.
It makes life less efficient, but in the interests of security which is of course important.

We are much better at OCR and object recognition than any computer is, so that isn't particularly surprising.
Most people I know call them Memory Sticks, even though they are nothing like the things Sony make.
But I didn't for one minute think Psion was making these things. I was quite aware that Asus, Elonex, HP, Toshiba, Acer etc were making them.
Cola is a generic term. Coke and Coca Cola are not.
It's not difficult if you know what you are looking for.
Most people just look for the padlock. Do they even know how to inspect a certificate?

1 m long, about 0.01 mm diameter.
That's about the size of the wire in the lightbulb, perhaps the grandparent poster's pubic hairs are a similar size.
Once coiled up, the wire is about 2 cm long. I suppose that is closer to the length of a typical pubic hair.
It's probably not so much that green LEDs are brighter than red ones than the fact that our eyes pick up green light better than they pick up red.
